It really makes me happy that you guys enjoyed my sewing tutorialsand made beautiful fabric baskets, camera cases, and pen cases.My finding is that you like easy & quick projects like I do!How about this reversible patchwork bags that are easy and quickto make and can be lovely little handmade gifts?

Cut out 32 of 2 1/2" squares. (I used 16 different kinds offabric, 2 squares from each different fabric)

You are so wonderful for sharing with us all. I love your tutorials. These are just the perfect bags for a gift or really anything. You've done it again. Gave us something to make that will spread like wildfire through blogs. I see your baskets EVERYWHERE. Super idea.

Thank you for the wonderful tutorial....I am making Christmas quilts for all my grandchildren and then buying them a toy to go with it...I think I will make them all a bag to put the small toy into. It will also be fun for them to have a cute bag to carry stuff around...

I have wanted to know how to make something like this for a long time. You really spelled it out beautifully! I cannot wait to give it a shot! Thanks for sharing this and for doing such a nice job with the pics and directions!

I found you from One Pretty Thing...wow this is a beautiful little bag! I just made my first bag two nights ago, and I'm VERY VERY VERY proud of myself. I want to try this one too! I love all the pictures in your tutorial. It's very easy to follow, and a beginner like me can actually make something like this thanks to you!

Hello Ayumi! This is my first time leaving a comment but I’ve been enjoying your blog for a while now.

実は日本語の石鹸のブログからやって来ました♪はじめまして。私、ＬＡに住む日本人です。よろしく！

I just started sewing, and my first project was this reversible bag! I wanted to let you know that I posted the pictures on my blog! Thank you for the tutorial and I look forward to reading your future posts!

Ok, I finished mine yesterday and I am so dang proud of myself I can't stop looking at this bag! It's the first time I have ever attempted patchwork and now I am HOOKED!

I didn't have craft cord, so I just used ribbon and heat sealed the ends with a lighter. But I threaded mine threw so that when you pull on the ends away from the bag at the same time the top closes. I hope that makes sense, but it makes it easy to work the drawstring. Basically you take one cord (or ribbon) and thread through one casing then continue threading it through the other side. So that both ends are now hanging out of the casings on the same side. Then take the other cord and do the same, but start threading the ends through the casings that have the ends sticking out.

I hope I explained that well. I plan to post it on my blog in case I thoroughly confused you! LOL

Thanks for another great tutorial. I made a drawstring bag - not at all as nice as yours - for a swap just a few days before I found your tutorial. Wish I had this then. I have made several baskets from your other tutorial and love it! Also love your blog.

Your patchwork bag is gorgeous. Just wanted to let you know that I'm passing the link along to a friend who loves to do patchwork and quilts. She's older and disabled and she'll absolutely love making some of these.

Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. I am not a sewer but I think that I can master these adorable bags. I hope to make them to put the members of my spinning group's Christmas presents in (ceramic sheep and handknit dishcloths). Thank you again for providing this tutotorial

I love this ..I need to look at the directions like you presented them .. can we make coppies of this and put in a book so I can watch it slowly ..kindergarden level I have a disease called RSD and it is hard for me to remember... thank you my email is anita1953r@yahoo.com

Thanks for this great little design. I'm going to make one each for my 4 grand daughters for Christmas and add socks for the 2 younger ones and makeup and perfume for the teenagers. No need for gift wrapping either!

I am so excited to try this pattern! I am planning a trip to Kenya in August and these will make lovely gifts for some of the ladies over there! Can't wait to play with my fabric selections! Thanks for sharing!

You should make a tutorial on how to make a phone case, ive been wanting to make ne for ages but just cant seem to get it looking right, or for my phone to actually stay inn it... Love your tutorials btw.

瓶子-I think you'll be able to figure out once you get to the point because it's pretty simple :) Ir basically means that one cord goes through the casing, and the other cord too but the other one will be inserted from the other side of the bag. I hope this helps!

Hi! I just found your blog, and thank you for sharing all the tutorials!!

I have a question. Maybe I'll understand once I make it, but for the casing of the cords, first sew it on top of the bag, and is that it? That would make it hanging at the bottom, right? (not sewn) but at the later pictures I see it as complete - how does this happen? I tried to imagine it but couldn't.

Lala Lili Lulu-If you make sure to sew the casing in the way that the long raw edge is aligning with the top edge of the bag, it will be fine. When you sew lining to it with right sides together, a miracle happens as you can see :) It's fun :)

Pretty nice post. I simply stumbled upon your site and wished to state which I have truly enjoyed searching your blog ford turbo. In any case I’m going to be signing up for your give food to as well as I hope you create again quickly!

I came across this blog by mistake because I was trying to get ideas for patchwork things to make on Google images! I was so impressed, as a learner sewer, at how easy the instructions were to follow! I am now (after 5 whole hours of cutting and sewing) a proud owner of a draw string patchwork reversable bag! Many many thanks!

thanks a lot for making this tutorial!!! I was needing to make one of this little bags for arranging sewing little stuff, and followed your tutorial, is easy to follow (I didn't make the patchwork thing here, cause I was in a hurry for sewing :D) This bag you made here, is particularly neat, I love it :)Thanks again!!! So useful!!!
